The really sad thing is that the situation has been getting worse ever since Reagan. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/24/06 re: Alexis de Tocqueville quote DeTocqueville could have added that this money love is a sign of limited enlightenment, civility, and humanity. 1Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/21/06 re: Justice William O. Douglas quote The fact that we have arrived at a dictatorship does not negate the truth of the quotation. We have simply let the small group of the rich and powerful brain wash the majority to follow the path to dictatorship of the right. 1Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/21/06 re: Dwight D. Eisenhower quote Great words if only they were true. The heart of the American faith has been to rob from the poor and give to the rich. Always has been and is still. 1 Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/18/06 re: Florence Robinson quote It's easy and tempting to be cynical for so many leaders, so VERY many leaders, are corrupt that it takes great pains to correct their direction, but it can be done, and it's everyone's duty to make efforts through dissent and speaking out to turn them around. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/18/06 re: Elie Wiesel quote Anyone who thinks Wiesel is a fraud is someone who doesn't want to know the truth or who reads only what he agrees with. As one who wrote, "It doesn't matter who said the words, they are just as true." 1Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/13/06 re: Lyn Nofziger quote Coming from an honest human being, the words would have significant meaning, but knowing Novzier what it means is the freedom of the powerful to lord it over the weak is more important than the little security needed for a decent life for others. 2 Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/13/06 re: Lance Morrow quote Excellent analysis keenly expressed. 12Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/12/06 re: Abraham Lincoln quote Lincoln has been accurate in his foresight. And surely enough, we are self-destroying through the suicide of keeping the Bush mob in power. Our freedoms, our environment, our standard of living, our integrity, our schools, our health are being stolen under our noses. Yes, we are dying by suicide. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/10/06 re: James Baldwin quote The greatest crutch ever has been religion. Until human beings can learn to rely on their own minds and reason the greater ethics of the simple Golden Rule will forever be ignored. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/10/06 re: Baruch Spinoza quote The only problem is training people to develop a reasoning ability. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/6/06 re: Mark Twain quote I think those millions need help because the vast majority of welfare goes to the right and powerful. The disparity between rich and poor has never been greater in history. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/6/06 re: Hugh Prather quote The job to answering the world's problems is even worse now that our country is the prime contributor to them. Amen to Prather. 1 Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/4/06 re: Eric Hoffer quote The self-educated longshoreman had great perception. I do think he went too far here in adding 'uniformity' to 'equality.' Many desire equality in rights and justice without the least interest in anonymity. 2 Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/2/06 re: Thomas Paine quote He who stands for the country and freedom now is the citizen who sees tyranny, not from without, but from within our own leaders of government. The repulsion of creeping fascism will not be cheaply gained but it will most certainly be glorious. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 1/2/06 re: Frederick Douglass quote A sagacious thought from a courageous, wise, great and compassionate human being. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 12/30/05 re: Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi quote Mr. Pucci's kind of nationalism would have been much appreciated by the axis power six or seven decades ago. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 12/27/05 re: Buddha quote It's a start but a hell of a small one. Try educating the populace because politics, liberal and compassionate politics, is the crux of the solution. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 12/26/05 re: The Mahabharata quote Confucianism states the Golden Rule in a reverse fashion from that of Christianity and maybe another religion or two, but this one actually states the Rule both ways. It is the only one to do that. 4Reply Dick, Fort Worth 12/19/05 re: John Adams quote Morality came before religion. Religion was invented to support morality, to restrain chaos. It may have been of good use then but it has become a weapon of the demagogues now for opposite reasons. It is the cause of more war and more killing than any other. Only a replacement of religion with humankind and reason as the guide will bring about peace. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 12/19/05 re: Jesse Charles Wagner II quote This may be true of "Jefferson's Bible," but it certainly isn't true of the Bible. As Robert said above, it is as full of hate and intolerance as it is of love. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 12/19/05 re: George Washington quote I think Liberty Tree should apologize for printing such an obviously false quotation. I appreciate reading these quotations each day and I don't want to lose my respect and confidence in the accuracy of them. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 12/16/05 re: Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. quote Too bad the fools read too little to realize this truth. Reply Dick, Fort Worth 12/15/05 re: Thomas Paine quote One of the finest of quotations. How socialism is connected with the quote is beyond comprehension. 1Reply Dick, Fort Worth 12/15/05 re: Justice Tom C. Clark quote Tom Clark's statement is right on, but Joe's comment has no connection with it. Previous 25 Next 25 SaveOk2 Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
